How to create a deep link to the Apple Wallet app from my website?

Question

I would like to have a link on my mobile website that once clicked from an iOS device, it will open up the Apple Wallet app.

I know there are some questions about this subject when it comes to an app that I built, but since this is not the case here, I'm not sure what is the right approach. I'm also aware of Brnach.io, but again, I think this solution is for an app I own, and I'm not sure how I can implement it for apps created by Apple (or other 3rd party developers) and specifically Apple Wallet (for example: how do I get the app ID?).

I know Universal Links might also be an option but I've read that I can't use an automated redirect with them (which I will need to do too)

There is an undocumented protocol shoebox:// that will open wallet, but nobody has figured out how to open on a specific pass. — PassKit, Jul 14 '17 at 14:35
@PassKit Can you explain how to use this protocol? I'm okay with just opening the app and not controlling which pass will show up — DMEM, Jul 14 '17 at 14:44

How did you come across this information? The reason I'm asking is because I can't seem to figure out how to find the URL for Google Wallet.. – Friendly-Robot Jun 29 '18 at 23:51

To simply open the Wallet app you can use the wallet:// deeplnk, I'm also trying to figure out how to open specific passes.
